Myth or Fact: Does Red Oil And Potash Prevent Body Odour In Babies?

It’s a general belief that body odour occurs when you don’t bath twice daily. However, sweat and the build-up of bacteria is the major causative agent for body odour.
When babies are born, it’s a cultural practice to apply a mixture of red oil and potash on their bodies to prevent body odour. This practice is harmful to the baby’s skin and may introduce external bacteria to the skin.
Body odour in babies can be prevented in several clinically recommended ways. Find out more with a quick read.
